Full lyrics

A menina dos meus olhos tem no rosto uma romã

E um sorriso que deságua no meu céu toda manhã

Tem o fogo das serpentes e a pureza do cristal

E a forma que o desejo só acha no carnaval


A menina dos meus olhos tem a cor de azul não sei

A mistura do que vi e o não acreditei

Faz inveza a natureza quando se banha na lua

Alegra minha vaidade quando me diz "eu sou tua"


A menina dos meus olhos que eu namoro todo dia

Me redime dos pecados que a lida propicia

De não se o que pareço mas se fosse não seria

Esse tanto pelo avesso que melhor não poderia

Translation

The girl of my eyes has a pomegranate on her face

And a smile that flows into my sky every morning

She has the fire of serpents and the purity of crystal

And the form that desire only finds in carnival


The girl of my eyes has the color of blue I don't know

The mixture of what I saw and what I didn't believe

Makes nature envious when she bathes in the moon

Gladdens my vanity when she tells me "I am yours"


The girl of my eyes that I court every day

Redeems me from the sins that the struggle provides

I don't know what I seem but if I were it wouldn't be

This much inside out that couldn't be better
